#2 James Harden/PG/Houston Rockets:
Regular season MVP Runner-Up James Harden aka The Beard had a career high season in 2016. He averaged 29.1 Points per game, 8.1 Rebounds per game and 11.4 Assists per game.
He was a top 3 pick last season but this year might be a different story. The Rockets acquired Chris Paul from the Clippers this offseason. That means a change in position from PG to SG for Harden and his numbers will not be the same from there. Both Paul and Harden are star players and ball hogs. Hence, the chemistry between them is something we need to watch out for.
We can still expect 20+ points and 7+ rebounds from Harden every game but his assist numbers might see a major dip. Harden might be a risky pick this year but he is a class act and can be banked upon to lead your team.
